FREE Cloud Storage & Data Hosting for Student-Led Startups

A Message from Haven Cloud Founders!

Hello Retriever Entrepreneurs,

We're excited to announce that Haven Cloud (havencloud.io) is offering free cloud storage and data hosting for all student-led startups at UMBC. 

Haven Cloud is a UMBC startup led by two CS/CE seniors who won 1stplace in the 2022 CBIC and 3rdplace & Best Speaker awards in the 2021 Fall Idea Competition. Haven Cloud was also accepted and participated in three startup accelerators, including the prestigious John's Hopkins Fuel accelerator.  

From the founders: Haven is the world's first decentralized, end-to-end encrypted and privacy focused cloud storage app. We've launched on iOS & Android and are currently building a desktop application for Windows & Mac. We want to give back to the entrepreneurship community and offer our platform for free to all student startups. 

Student-led small businesses, such as photography, wedding planning, design, real estate, restaurant, content creation-oriented businesses, etc., can use our "Haven for Enterprise" desktop application to secure their files for free post-launch. 

Software and tech startups can use our Enterprise application for cloud backups, or our newly developed public API for object storage and data hosting as an alternative to AWS S3. We're willing to integrate our API into every UMBC software startup's codebase for free. 

Haven Cloud is also offering to setup dedicated servers for student-led websites and apps. Anyone who's interested can email Faheel at f74@umbc.edu, Mahmoud at mshalby1@umbc.edu or havencloud.io to learn more, connect, and join the Haven for Enterprise program.
